T-Shirt Lap Quilt - Friday Finish!

Hello and happy Friday! I have another t-shirt quilt finish to share today. This was a quick "hey, can you squeeze this in before the end of the month" quilt.

I'm really glad I took it on, because it was the absolute smoothest t-shirt quilt I've done. For example, it usually takes me at least 2 days (read sewing sessions) to be able to cut the shirts, measure designs, and graph the quilt. For this one, however, I was able to cut the shirts, measure, graph, AND cut and sew the first column in one day! I was pretty stoked.

I also was able to pull the sashing from my stash, which was a great blessing. I knew I wanted to use gray, but when I pulled this hashed, tone-on-tone fabric...and I had exactly the amount I needed...I was so excited. <3 I love the added look of texture.

I kept with a meandering quilting pattern, and I picked up some adorable black and while polka dot fabric for the binding. I love the fabric, because it reminds me of strings of pearls.
